360 Degree Feedback

WHAT ARE 360 reviews? Definitions

Leadership 360 Review: A 360 Degree Feedback Review is a multi-source feedback, multi-rater assessment, upward feedback or peer evaluation designed to give you a panoramic view of your leadership capabilities. … The 360 Degree feedback process involves both participants (the person or people being reviewed) and raters.
